→Some fairy tale heroines never find their happily ever after. And not all princes are handsome and heroic.
In Nettle & Bone, we meet Marra, a young princess whose eldest sister is wed to a prince from a neighbouring kingdom. When the sister dies in mysterious circumstances, Marra is shocked to discover that this prince isn’t a figure from girlish daydreams, but instead a sadist who finds his thrills in abusing and raping women. This early revelation plunges what feels like an airy, delicate novel into dark Bluebeard territory.
